Many say that their lives are open books. But when you think about it, even open books can rarely be understood. There are symbols, context and style hidden beneath the prose. And what is an open book but an invitation to confusion.

And yet… we allow… other people to read the words….

Hoping that someone, someday…

Will look between the lines and see

The pictures, the emotions

The lives and the loss

Of words

Of sight

Of darkness

Of light

For what are words

If not the feeble attempt

Of inadequate humanity

To bring order

To a world of chaos

Random: A drabble

I walk quietly in the darkness

Trying to be silent

But not succeeding

For the silence only makes

The pounding of my heart louder

Every step that I take

I trod upon

The adamant ground

Pushing me

Towards my destination

I go on despite the trepidation

Which, like the bars

Within a dungeon

Try to imprison me

Be still my heart

And give not away

The inchoate purpose

Which pounds within you

Be still my heart

And hold your beat

Though stealth be

The cost of life

I pay it gladly

For no purpose

Is more vital

Than my desires
